Life sometimes be like 1. Wait as long as you can to commit to The Thing based on imperfect information 2. Finally say "OK it's time" and commit to The Thing 3. RIGHT AFTERWARDS circumstances immediately change that make the previous commitment incredibly problematic 4. Repeat over and over again

Centralized vs decentralized social media today faces the same problem as bad governance in American Blue Cities... "network effects" and costs of moving are too high, so they're willing to tolerate what they know is bad governance. "Because my friends, my family and my job are all here" is a powerful incentive to stay put, even in systems run by tyrannical rulers and/or inept bureaucracies. #nostr #decentralization
